Seeing Xing Sen's resolute attitude, Lin Jichen had no choice but to take him into the house.
Xing Sen and Xing Liyao signed a ten-year labor contract in front of him.
These two siblings were completely willing to become Lin Jichen's employees.
After the contract was signed, Lin Jichen didn't think anything happened.
But the Xing Sen brothers and sisters were smiling happily, as if the big stone in their hearts had finally fallen to the ground.
Xing Sen asked for leave from Lin Jichen on the spot, hoping to take his sister back to his hometown to worship his ancestors while the game was being updated.
Lin Jichen naturally agreed and told him to be careful along the way.
He was worried that Xing Sen would be retaliated by Wang Jinghao, so he called Jiang Luoyu and asked her to arrange a security guard at the gate of the community to escort the Xing Sen brothers and sisters.
Be careful with your ten-thousand-year ship. Lin Jichen didn't want to have it ruined by Wang Jinghao just after recruiting two capable generals.
Moreover, he has seen how powerful the security guards of the Jiang Group are, and it is absolutely safe to have them escort him.
Upon hearing Lin Jichen's request for help, Jiang Luoyu agreed without hesitation.
He also stated that all security guards in the community will be at Lin Jichen's discretion from now on.
On the same day, Xing Sen took his sister, followed by a bodyguard from the Jiang Group, and left Jiangling and returned to his hometown.
Lin Jichen sent them away, and suddenly remembered that he had not returned to his hometown for a long time.
When he was in high school, his parents died in a car accident. He relied on his parents' pension and the little savings left at home to live independently.
But some neighbors and relatives in his hometown occasionally took care of him.
Since the game will be updated for three days, I might as well take this opportunity to go back.
The main reason is that the game updates too quickly. Lin Jichen felt that if he didn't go back and take a look, he might not have a chance.
Because his hometown did not have military protection in his previous life, it could easily become the hardest hit area by monsters and ghosts.
Therefore, local officials forcibly relocated the entire village, and his hometown town was completely reduced to ruins.
When the time comes, I won’t be able to go back to worship my ancestors.
When Lin Jichen went back this time, he wanted to take away his parents' ashes to avoid being reduced to ashes.
Lin Jichen proposed to go home, and the girls also expressed their understanding. Gu Qiuxue wanted to go back with him.
Of course Lin Jichen agreed, and Ren Lan and the others also wanted to go. Unfortunately, she and Niu Naitang both had classes, so they couldn't go.
Just like that, it wasn't long before Xing Sen was sent away.
Lin Jichen also simply packed up, took Gu Qiuxue and Tang Ning, and drove away from Jiangling.
His hometown is a small village in the south of Jiangling City, with a population of more than a thousand. It is not far away and can be reached in a few hours' drive.
That afternoon, Lin Jichen arrived at his hometown.
Looking at the simple countryside where he grew up, Lin Jichen had a lot of emotions. Recalling every detail of his childhood, a touch of sadness came to his heart.
Memories of my childhood flashed through my mind like a slide show.
This small village holds countless memories for him and his parents. Unfortunately, in a few years, it will be completely reduced to ruins.
Lin Jichen wanted to protect this place, but his power alone was limited after all, not to mention that there were no barriers outside the village.
Although he can protect you for a while, he cannot protect you for a lifetime. This place is destined to be in trouble.
Fortunately, the officials in Jiangling City are relatively powerful and will relocate all the people in the village so that both people and land will not be lost.
Lin Jichen drove all the way back to the home in his memory along the cement path.
The home has not changed at all, the door is locked, and a lot of weeds and moss have grown outside the door.
Parking the car at the door, Lin Jichen opened the door and looked at this very familiar home, his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
Since the fall of this village, Lin Jichen has not been home for many years.
Especially when he was dying in his previous life, his memories were all about his parents and this simple and cozy little house.
Gu Qiuxue and Tang Ning said nothing and just followed behind silently. They knew that Lin Jichen must be thinking about his deceased parents at this time.
Lin Jichen checked everything in the house carefully and found many old photos, as well as the only family photo in the house.
When he saw the family photo, he couldn't hold it back anymore and burst into tears.
In his previous life, after he learned that his hometown had fallen, he had no time to go back.
There is not even a family photo left, and the portraits of my parents have been forgotten. After struggling in the integrated world for several years, my parents' memories have become increasingly blurred.
Now seeing his smiling parents again in the photo, Lin Jichen couldn't control his emotions for a moment.
Gu Qiuxue was secretly wiping tears at the side. She actually missed her uncle and aunt very much. When the two families were on good terms, her uncle and aunt were very fond of her.
"Is Ah Chen back?"
At this time, a voice sounded outside the door. It was the neighbor's aunt.
Lin Jichen quickly regained his composure, forced out a smile, and turned around and shouted: "Aunt Zhang, it's me."
"It's really Ah Chen. You're back. Aren't you at school?"
Lin Jichen excused himself on the pretext of school holidays.
Aunt Zhang was also very happy to see Lin Jichen, but she was a little surprised when she saw Gu Qiuxue and Tang Ning.
"These two little girls are..."
Lin Jichen walked to Gu Qiuxue with a smile, held her hand and explained: "Aunt Zhang, this is my girlfriend, and that one is my friend."
Gu Qiuxue blushed and quickly lowered her head.
Tang Ning greeted Aunt Zhang with a smile, but there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in her smile.
"Haha, Ah Chen, you are a little guy. You have already had a girlfriend while you were still in school. But at your age, you can indeed have a girlfriend. It's not bad. Your parents will probably be very happy to know about it."
"Just come back. Just come back. Go to the ancestral hall to pay homage to your parents. Come to my house for dinner in the evening and Aunt Zhang will cook your favorite braised pork for you!"
"Okay, Aunt Zhang."
Lin Jichen agreed. After Aunt Zhang left, he took Gu Qiuxue and Tang Ning to the ancestral hall in the village, where his parents' ashes were placed.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back to see you."
Lin Jichen knelt in front of the portraits of his parents and was stunned. After a long time, he calmed down and said with a smile: "Mom and Dad, let me introduce someone to you."
As he said that, he turned back and cast a look at Gu Qiuxue.
Gu Qiuxue understood this, her face turned red, and she knelt down next to Lin Jichen.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm Xiaoxue, I'm here to see you."
Lin Jichen introduced directly: "Mom and Dad, this is Xiaoxue, who is also my girlfriend now. You have liked her since you were a child, and now she has become my wife. Are you happy?"
The old man in the ancestral hall next to him looked at the two of them with a smile. Lin Jichen faced it calmly, but Gu Qiuxue was the only one who was blushing and embarrassed.
After talking a lot with his parents, Lin Jichen didn't end the worship service until it was almost dark.
He immediately discussed with the elders of the ancestral hall that he wanted to take away his parents' ashes.
Fortunately, the custom in their village is that after death, the ashes are placed in the ancestral hall. If they were buried in the ground, it would be difficult for Lin Jichen to take away the ashes of his parents.
After all, he wanted to open a tomb. Even if he wanted to do such a thing, the old people in the village would not agree to it.
Even so, Lin Jichen's proposal was sternly rejected by the old man of the ancestral hall.
